“slan-ge-var. put the cranberry juice on my tab.” — Ann

author’s note: nkg is the only writer on medium.coma i know personally. last week while he was filming an ad for his bar, he told me, “you know i’m fine with anything you (and stephanie) write.”

stef: what does the last name killgore mean?

nkg: (reading from mr. google) “Scottish. habitational name from Kilgour in Fife, named in Gaelic as ‘goat wood’, from coille ‘wood’ plus gobhar, gabhar ‘goat’.”

stef: that’s not cool. i thought it’d be to kill gore(y) writers or roast them. but your family crest has a dragon on it, no way Michaël Wertenberg can top that.

nkg: while tuning a ukele he bought for a client who is from hawaii. “i’d like to learn to play bagpipes.”

stef: braveheart?

nkg: william wallace was 6'6" tall. mel gibson at 5'10" would never have been able to lift wallace’s claymore.

stef: golf? mini/maxi?

nkg: shot a birdie once.

stef: pigeon or sea gull?

nkg: i remember the mini golf course, bumper boats, batting cages . . .

stef: yes, yo recuerdo. we donnae have any’thin’ en calzoncillos para los niños. i will write to me representative about it. . .un momento, por favor. while nkg studies clan map of scotland.. .

dear mr. moo,

‘we have three slaughterhouses,

strip malls up the wazoo,

casinos, clusterfuck housing,

an empty-for-20-years

“mark twain slept everywhere” ormsby house

and no mini golf.’

act now!

stef: my on-line shrink and creative writing teacher, Edward Robson, is looking for a place to perform his slam poetry.

nkg: yeah! send him in!

stef: favorite vonnegut character?

nkg: kilgore trout.

stef: por supuesto. favorite video?

nkg: robin williams invents golf.

in 2023, nathan will still be the long-time owner (est. 2008) of “caterpillar’s hookah lounge”, and (a) turning into a butterfly (b) running for governor of nevada © running for mayor of calzoncillos (d) working as a tool man at the moonlite bunny ranch (e) selling used golf balls at the pro shop.

all of the above? who knows?

lucy has forgiven nathan for calling her a pita.

ROASTING NATE AT HIS OWN BAR. 16:06 “even if you don’t know me, i’m an easy guy to make fun of . . .”

20:23 -“. . .run for mayor.” formal announcement?

21:46 -“if you were a crayon, your color would be ‘dirty skank.’”

40:20 -decorations: “someday they’ll all fall down. just like your whole life.”

52:28 — lookt like you were gonnae get thrown out of your own bar. again.

1:00:00 — “reformed his misogynistic ways. . .” in the background “i want a massage!!” “he tried not to hang out with underage girls, he just did it naturally.”

not bad.

for your roast, nathan, you shud a worn your jammies,

like the first time i stopt by ‘caterpillar’s’ to thank you for being the only member of the planning commission to vote against the special use permit for a slaughterhouse in me neighborhood.

we talkt about politics for an hour and a half. i was a democrat/independent when i walked in. after that talk, i was a card-carrying member of the ‘deadly serious party.’

Registered on October 26, 1984, (the year of nate’s birth in this jump to a higher level of consciousness), the Deadly Serious Party,

a political party that stood candidates in Australian elections in the 1980s. The party was created by Australian candidates with the goal of mocking other candidates.[1] Its platform included dispatching a flock of killer penguins to protect Australia’s coastline from Argentine invasion, an age freeze, and the appointment of silly people to all the portfolios that matter. . .
